Showerthoughts

43926 readers

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

It's the perfect opportunity, how isn't every single NSFW poster (OC or not) spamming relevant things? I've seen two posts about it, none of which were actually fitting.

My theory is that there is no organic NSFW content creation on the fediverse, and that everything is rbots, scrapers, spammers who don't actually engage with the platform, etc.

If nobody who creates NSFW content ever interacts with lemmy/piefed directly, they won't know to try to lean into this trend that doesn't exist elsewhere.

It feels like an only fans psyop

I clicked because "nsfw" but I have no idea wtf I'm reading. I've read the comments a hundred times and OP at least one time. Where's my sexual gratification.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

I was really hoping for a visual example

[–] DeepDown@leminal.space 45 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

There was at least one post in the nsfwsphere.

A couple girlies did show up in the comments with tit pics on lemmyshitpost which was badass. For the most part fediNSFW doesn't really interact with the rest of the fediverse. They're just kind of focused on their grind.

Where? 👀 which comments

My guess would be that they're talking about this.

FWIW, while that poster is an attractive lady, she's also generally pretty cool even if you disregard that.

I got banned from lemmyshitpost, there is only one mod and he's a complete piece of shit. I called out a bot and got banned for being "an agent of Reddit", despite being off that site for years now. He also says a bunch of racist and sexist shit.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

You were spamming every post in the community with the same inane comment, what DID you expect? You would have been banned from any community for that behaviour.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I was replying to every comment made by a bot, stating that it was a bot. Every other community banned the bot, that community is the only one that banned me.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

That's what the report function is for. And the block button. You just made a nuisance of yourself for everybody else.

[–] DeepDown@leminal.space 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

The mod is the also the poster. There's no point in reporting on that com. Also it's not against any rules

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

kind of like the bot did? but somehow wasn't banned...

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works -2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

The bot was posting stuff that was on topic for the community. Nice thing about lemmy is, we can have different interests and ignore the communities we don't like. Including those that repost stuff from reddit. Guess what happens when you go into a community and try to gatekeep it as an outsider, though?

Oh! My dude that's the lemmy.today server. Yeah fuck that guy.

Go to !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world, that's where the magic happens. Just don't post politics or you'll start a biblical 3 days of corn. And sometimes they're really allergic to actual jokes.

!TheShitpostOffice@lemmy.dbzer0.com is good too, it's a little more "high quality" shitposting

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

I'm too good of a shitposter and have been banned from most of those communities and/or blocked them because of power tripping mods.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 17 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

What's this about soapy tits?

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 17 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

A weirdly surreal set of memes about thinking about your SO having soapy tits while you're off doing other things.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 9 points 20 hours ago
[–] orenj@leminal.space 7 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

The soapy titties thing is super lame tho

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 16 points 21 hours ago (3 children)
[–] spazzman6156@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

Or oiled up dongs

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Don’t worry. Soapy balls come after soapy tits.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

do soapy tits even come at all?

[–] zloubida@sh.itjust.works 2 points 18 hours ago

Soapy balls are boring. I Iove my tiddies soapy and my balls dirty.

C'est la vie
